UNSPSC 85521535: Bypass right vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 051R4AY

UNSPSC 85521535, Bypass right vertebral vein to upper vein with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not match the vascular surgical procedure named in the code. These solicitations address medical administration, benefits management, and staffing services rather than specific surgical interventions or vascular procedures. State and local purchasing offices appear to have misapplied the code across a range of healthcare procurement functions unrelated to the specialized vascular bypass operation the code describes.

No state and local buyer is currently soliciting the specific procedure or service this code nominally covers. The code's scope—a defined surgical intervention with specific anatomical, material, and approach parameters—does not align with how state and local health systems, counties, and cities are actually using the UNSPSC tag in recent procurement. This suggests either systematic miscoding by issuers, a structural mismatch between medical procedure taxonomy and state-local healthcare procurement practice, or that such procedures are procured through different mechanisms (direct hospital contracting, group purchasing organization aggregation, or federal Medicare coding channels) rather than standalone RFPs and RFQs visible in state and local notice systems.
